Time for an early lunch and “no” pro football. Let them all go kneel somewhere else. Not in my living room.
The rest of the day to yourself.
I have wee bit more Irish :)
Works for me!!!
I heard Donna Brazille and she should be ashamed of herself.
If she’d have been near me I’d start slapping her in the face than even now I’d still be slapping.
“Can you imagine living in Puerto Rico and not knowing if you’d live or die?” I paraphrase the sort of rancor her narrative was taking.
Nothing-burger....going nowhere.
Face the Nation, CBS
North Carolina Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says he’s “shocked” that the allegations of sexual misconduct against Judge Brett Kavanaugh did not come up in his days-long Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
On “Face the Nation” Sunday, Tillis, who is on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he had not seen a letter sent by an unnamed female accuser to her congresswoman, Rep. Anna Eshoo. On Thursday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the committee, confirmed the existence of the letter.
“I believe that the member that first received that letter was as late as July, and quite honestly, I’m shocked that the matter didn’t come up in the nearly 32 hours of testimony that Judge Kavanaugh was before us, in the open sessions or the nearly hour, hour and a half session that we had in a closed session,” Tillis said Sunday. “That information never came up.”
Tillis said that that committee intends to look into the matter upon returning to Washington this week, but “it really raises a question in my mind about, if this was material to the confirmation process, why on Earth, over the past four to six weeks, hasn’t it been discussed among the committee members?”
Tillis also questioned the timing of the letter’s existence becoming public, and why the letter’s author would not come forward in a confidential setting.
I've heard that number mentioned on FR. Whatever it is, keep them handy.
underestimate the perfidy and numbers of Deep State.
Fire and abolish, the taxpayers will appreciate the cuts.
how do we know that this same strategy was not used in 2012 to reelect Obama?
All the more reason to do it now.
And you can watch Gators football in person in Gainesville!
BTW, The Tide beat Ole Miss, 62-7 yesterday.
State of the Union, CNN: The “Puerto Rican Economic ‘Genius’” has spoken. “Trillions of $$$ of more government spending will advance the economy.”
Quote:
Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Sunday suggested that adopting universal Medicare would actually boost the economy and put more money in Americans’ pockets, despite studies putting the cost of such a venture at tens of trillions of dollars.
Her comments came days after far-left progressives suffered a series of losses in major races in New York, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo soundly defeated upstart “resistance” candidate Cynthia Nixon. Despite having Ocasio-Cortez’s endorsement, Nixon lost in Ocasio-Cortez’s district by thirty percentage points.
“One of the things that we need to realize when we look at something like ‘Medicare for all — ‘Medicare for all’ would save the American people a very large amount of money,” Ocasio-Cortez told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
The New York Democratic congressional nominee continued: “What we see as well is that these systems are not just ‘pie-in-the-sky.’ Many of them are accomplished by every modern civilized democracy in the western world.”

Good Morning from Oregon.
Well, the taxpayers would, but the Gibmedats would NOT.
We can't just stop their bread and circuses, can we???
Devin Nunes said he is going to release all the transcripts of the 70 people interviewed by his committee...about 20% of those are classified and he is waiting for those to be cleared
Good morning to you, too!
I saw on you tube a video of a CNN reporter pretending that the wind is blowing him over while behind him to guys were walking normally in the rain...how fake...
Tillis is as big a nothing-burger as Burr. They both bring new meaning to the words "weak" and "useless".
I am so sick of TV media across the board, even FNC & FBN.
Chris Wallace, Neil Cavuto, Shepard Smith, Charles Gasparino of FNC/FBN are terrible, hateful and vindictive from A-Z...not an ounce of objectivity there.
The real gem of FNC/FBN is Maria Bartiroma. If FNC/FBN wants to own all of the TV Sunday News oxygen, they should dump Chris Wallace, replace him with Maria Bartiromo and they will get viewer ratings that own the universe, with this gifted, smart, intelligent lady.
Absolutely. Wrap/subsume/eliminate EPA, Energy and Interior into Homeland Security.
Replace the FBI with a Homeland Marshall Service, whereby every current FBI agent must reapply for a job in Homeland Security.
Just another description for Republican Senator.
So, using your logic would it be fair to say that Trump smearing Lying Ted Cruz during the primary was a misdirection, only to be revisited and updated in 2018 because Republicans and Trump need "Republican" in the House and Senate?
If Ted Cruz was not good enough to run for the Presidency why would all these Cruz haters thing he is good enough to be a Senator?
And a good Oregon morning from me, too, AB:)!
She’s a typical dem coming to the aide of a party that stand for nothing but robinhooding dough from those who work hard for it.
